We hired Arata to remove a 65' poured concrete wall and sidewalk going around our house on one side in to the back yard behind the house. He suggested Nicolock block wall and pavers for the sidewalk. He came back with the best price for what he was going to do. I'd gotten higher prices from others to just replace the wall with another pain block wall and poured sidewalk. The job came out beautiful, such a good job that this spring we hired him again to put in a 24X19' paver patio in the back of our home. His crew (as well as Mike) came on time when they said they would be here. They had all of the equipment needed on the spot ready to use. His crew was very meticulous with their work. They were constantly leveling and measuring all the time. It wasn't hard to tell they were very proud of their work. When they finished the job my yard was cleaned up and looked like no one had ever been there. Yes we have a lot of new lawn to water and take care of now. It takes time and a lot of patients to get a good lawn to grow. He told us to water twice a day for the entire summer if not the new seedlings could burn and die. I've seen another front yard he replaced less than a mile from our home and the lawn is beautiful. I checked the seed before he put it down and it was not cheap seed and the men were very generous with the application of the seed. Yes it is a pain to hand water twice a day but we know it has to be done. We would recommend Atata Landscaping to our friends and family.

Check out my profile pic, that's how their work looks like. The green grass behind the fence is my old "not so s..ty looking now" grass that I had before he installed his "masterpiece". Oh, and I was watering and fertilizing it regularly, as directed. He did the same to 2 of my neighbors. And it's very easy to spot which 3, as we have the worst grass, or I should say no grass, in the neighborhood. I would take the crab grass lawn at this point. Don't let him sweet talk you, he will lie to you that he'll give you golf looking lawn and that he won't disappear when things go bad. He doesn't fix things, blames the customer and has an attitude. At this point I don't even want him to fix it, I just want my money back to hire a real pro to do it right. And please, don't believe Magic Service reviews, biggest mistake I have done. Don't hire him! Guys like these should be out of business. So let's make it happen and don't hire him. If you consider hiring him call me at 203-543-8621, I'll tell you more and please check out my gallery of his work here (you might need to copy/paste)

Good company if everything goes well but very disappointing customer service when things don't go the way they should. I have called, I have waited at home for two days when Mike said they would be here to fix some of their guaranteed work. When I called after waiting the two days I was told they were very busy. We paid what they asked and every check was there on the day they requested. Our requests unfortunately were not handled with the same respect. I now feel that their cost was very high for non guaranteed work. Will bite the bullet hire someone to fix their errors and definitely not use them again.

and make sure your job is "big enough" to get his attention. We kept getting blown off JUST to sign the contract---even before any work began---because stuff "kept coming up". Mike appears to do good work, but on his terms only and really seems to not like the customer making decisions, like going over contract details.

Arata does a great job. They do custom made walkways and patios which was done at the house of a relative. They also do retaining walls and belgium block borders which is unique. They taste in designs are awesome and they come to your home for free estimates and are fully insured. They are perfect for design installation.
